he is not planning to go to the olympics and later go to israel. do you think he is going to be criticized for that? should he be staying closer to home? you know, it is hard for me to say what a presidential nominee should or shouldn't do, and i know those decisions are thought through. i really think it is important that mitt romney go to israel, particularly since these are the most very dangerous times, as you know, the talks with iran predictably have failed an and e are facing what could be a serious crisis between israel and iran so i strongly support that. the olympics, you know, mitt romney has a history of taking the olympics in salt lake city from total disaster and actual criminal behavior to the most successful in history, but i don't presume to tell him where he should go or where he shouldn't go. and, again, bob, these are things that are the back and forth and the pundits love to talk about, but i still say again, jobs and the economy, and also national security. >> schieffer: all right. >> and america's failure to lead. >> schieffe

no mention of god in the democratic party platform and no mention of jerusalem being the capital of israel. and so the president we are told got involved personally, he said this is ridiculous, why has this changed from past years? this is something traditional both better do so this afternoon we saw the democratic convention chairman actually come out on stage, announce that the platform is going to be changed. there were some boos from some of the delegates in the audience, not all of them but it is now changed to reflect what the white house says is the president's view that jerusalem is and should be the capital of israel. now, scott, i do expect the president will make a surprise appearance here at the convention tonight. he wasn't scheduled to do so but we understand his motorcade has left his hotel, so while it hasn't been confirmed by the campaign, i am pretty sure at some point tonight you will see him and president clinton on that stage together. >> and that will be quite a thrill to the delegates who don't know at this point that is president is en route to the convention hall.
